    FA Cup as club photographer

    You might want to check as you will probably need your own Public Liability Insurance, unless you are covered by your clubs insurance. Something worth getting anyway.

    Team photos - hints and tips?

    Here's one I took last season. A really bright sunny day so shadows everywhere. Without lights it was difficult to get something half decent.. Even when I look at it afterwards there's always room for improvement. Socks, height and shadows etc. I like the idea of showing the staff & players...

    pics for football manager game anyone?

There was never any direct payment (even though I tried) as they stated that the club received loads of...

    Pointless kit

    I've got one of those (100mm long) and thought it might be useful for behind the goal camera - never used it.
